Description
Terraced two-bay four-storey over basement brick townhouse, built c. 1830, with a front railed basement area. Pitched slate roof concealed behind parapet wall with a rendered chimneystack to south party wall. Limestone coping to rebuilt parapet wall with lead flashing. Red brick wall laid in Flemish bond with cement pointing and limestone plinth course at ground floor level over a painted rendered wall to basement. Gauged brick flat-arched window openings with patent reveals and limestone sills. Replacement uPVC windows throughout. Gauged brick round-arched door opening with a rendered surround and inset timber doorcase comprising a pair of timber Ionic columns with swag detail, supporting a stepped cornice above with fluted frieze and rosettes, having a replacement plain fanlight over. Opening onto limestone stepped threshold and limestone flagged platform bridging basement with four steps to street. Flanked by original wrought-iron spear-headed railings on limestone plinth with concrete modifications, return enclosing basement, accessed by modern steel steps.
Appraisal
Despite the loss of its original windows, this house retains considerable character with its original façade composition, railings and most importantly, its doorcase. The house presents an original aspect to the street and enhances the uniformity of this historic Georgian streetscape.
